Amazing what a difference one well-trained domesticated animal can make.
Bump this guys, this will help them a lot with their sawing.
You can buy wax for your saw to help it saw smoother, and reduce the amount of catch/jamming that you encounter. If you want an iron age solution, Pig fat/grease was often applied for the same result. It really helps with those aggressive toothed saws.
Sawyers usually spray some kind of lubricant I’m not sure what it’s called though. You can also use wedges at the top if it’s a big log
It all depends on the set upt of the saw. If it is really sharp and the tooth set like they should be, there should be no binding. Most of these saws need quite a lot of tweaking to get them to work right, even when they are brand new like this. All of them need to be sharpened first at least.
They are using a hardwood saw. It will bind with soft woods .
id love to see some celtic carvings inside the round house when done lads
Tommy Pouncey yeah good idea
That would be the cherry on the cake
@@holloww_dwella Or even on Cherry wo0d,as the Cake will go oFF!
Yes and Druid also.
That pony deserves all the apples and it can eat. It's literally a workhorse. God bless him.
Its a mule
they said its a mule likee 10 times tf
The baby birds were a nice surprise. Also, Julius has sort of an Attenborough vibe going on.
Great watching you guys help Thomas build a Roundhouse! lol! Love this show!
,,👍
Nice to see how long these builds take in reality. Not just facade shelter you see pn youtube all the time
i love tis series its so calm and wholesome... watching at 4 am in the morning
Jager says it all at 23:01 and he's probably trilingual at the least. He's got me beat there. Good boy Jager.
It seems he is from Netherlands. Thats why he is trilingual.
SMOOOOOOOOTH gefixed tomas!!!
Jäger is without a doubt my favorite Smooth Gefixt team member.
Я правда подчти не слова не понимаю 🤷,но то что вы делаете напоминает мне моё детство,что там тоже только не делали🤔👍
Жду все последующие продолжения с нетерпением,надеюсь скоро начну вас тоже больше понимать😉
Желаю успехов,а главное здоровья🙏❗✊⚡
I recently discovered the channel, and I'm kinda addicted now, I've been watching so many of your old videos and I love them. Love the focus on nature and being more natural too.
quick little tip on the crosscut saw; when drawing towards you dipp your hands and when pushing raise them up; you sort of make an infinity sign or a number eight on it's side; that gives the saw more force for biting into the wood without bogging down so you can remove chips faster.
it also lets you make longer strokes as you don't need to push and pull so fast.
Thomas is a very nice looking mule!
Thanks guys this awesome!
And your camping videos are even more awesome!
What a beautiful spunky mule♥️
You guys rock! I've been working on a small mortarless rock wall and a rock and clay chimney and I have worn out two pairs of gloves! Also with the saw. I learned something which might help you. The large spaced teeth work best for soft wood and the small spaced teeth on the saw are for hard woods. I have been stripping the bark off the trees for the walls of my house too and wondered if they were going to crack because they are green. Then just today my dog dug out the dirt I had carried in for leveling the floors and foundation for the walls. I . could identify with everything in this video! But I am working on a much smaller scale. I am a bushcrafting grandmother and I love your videos
But can’t you basically just push the wall over if there is no mortar or clay or supports?
@@Gigachadly you fit the rocks together tightly by moving them and choosing the right ones. You can also knock off any odd extensions. There are rock walls everywhere built without mortar that have stood for centuries
Now that's what I call bush whacking 🌲🌳🌿🍀🐎
You are both a couple of good blokes, thumbs up to both of you!!
The amount of work going into this house.. Niet normaal.
In reality, this is around 50+ft of stacked stone drywall, made into a circle
Thank you lads.
Thanks for being kind to your little pony/mule who seems to take his work quite seriously.
Awesome video as always
Hi Guys: Well that's a pretty impressive piece of dry stone masonry. Reminds me of the work my Cornish grand father did when I was a boy. Good to see old skills are still of value. You keep referring to Thomas as a mule To me he looks more like a pony from the Shetlands. I'm getting ready for the roof . Thanks Brian 80
definitely a mule;)
I love the cencored sounds..."smoooooo...... "
Irishman working gloves, worked fingers right off.
You need a house for Thomas. Ancient people took great care of their animals as their lives depended on them. Thomas would have lived inside the house in the ancient times.
Been a sub for a while and went to watch this premiere. And now its 20 hours till the premiere.
It's awesome to see all the techniques that you use to build using only natural materials. You guys are my favourite channel. Love what you're doing so thanks for all the hard work and for giving us the opportunity to be part of your awesome projects! Keep up the great work.
For spruce or conifer I have found that a saw blade designed for dry wood works best, or anything with small uniform teeth. The blades with big elaborate teeth (that are great for fresh hardwood) tend to get stuck easily.
Keep up the work lads, good content
Heeel Nice ouwe👍 toppie!
Good stuff boys
Wow! Excellent work gentlemen. I’ve been watching your growth and progress since the $10 challenge. You’ve come a long way since those videos. With your drone work, the multi-angle sequences, the music montage with Thomas, and the editing ... I mean, wow! It is really impressive!
You guys rocking 😁
Keep the good stuff coming thanks
good thing winter not here
Coming along nicely lads, can't wait to see it when it's habitable
I love your guy's positive energy! Can't wait for another duo survival video. Maybe a 3 night next time!!
Epic love this channel.
Excellent!
Best series on TH-cam at the moment keep up the great work!
Well worth the wait, the roundhouse looks class, looking forward to the roof, I’ve seen a roundhouse with a curved roof with an opening to the front , not sure if this is the route you are going but can’t wait .all looks so good, I’m planning a charcoal foundry in my garden this year could be casting about the same time, exciting stuff , thank you for giving me the confidence to do it, your work inspires others , have a good week . Mark
Love watching the build come to life
This is art!
Keep up the good work guys
That's a very nice saw.
Another great video I’ve beeeeen waiting
I enjoyed the historical aspect as well as the narration.
That bit on the nesting birds was some good added content.
I just watched the round house series. It's really good and very enjoyable and I'm looking forward to seeing more.
loving this series. the guys are a pleasure to watch and the scenery is beautiful.
I absolutely dislike waiting for a new episode on everything, but talk about being worth the wait. That stone wall is a work of art in itself. Most TH-camrs would just throw some quick piece of shit together and call it good, but you can definitely see the quality that went into it. Excellent work gentleman!
Amazing video bros :)
Absolutely fantastic vid, well done as usual thankyou for all your amazing hard work God Bless the both of you 😎👌👍
Yeesssss dog gets to bite more dirt, best day ever! The wrens were awesome. My parrot really approved and started peeping and beeping through the whole video.
Wow, Amazing 👍👍👍
Looking forward to waking up and watching this one!
Cheers guys!
great work boys !!!!
Thomas is coming along nicely, as is the round house!!!
Love these
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH gefixed jongeee!!!!
That cross cut saw can be used by two if you put the upright handle at the other end.
You guys are doing a great job! The stone wall looks incredible. Love watching your show.
Very interesting project !
Been eagerly awaiting this
The birds at the start already got my like.
I've been watching for a while and you can definitely see your skill in making videos improving. Seriously one of my favorite youtube channels to watch. This episode even had the construction of a stone age dog house as well!
I always love it when Nederlanders say "non-native trees," when more than half the country is below sea level... just don't cut down the kelp and you will be okay.
This is filmed in Ireland though, I think.
Joshua Pennekamp it is filmed in Ireland... not the Netherlands.
Nice crosscut saw! I recommend you keep the blade waxed while using it. The wax really helps prevent sticking. A big candle stub or a small block of paraffin is all you need. As the blade heats up from the friction of sawing and starts to stick, rub the wax across both sides of the blade. It will melt a bit and lubricate it, making cutting much easier. Also, it should cut much quicker when used two man. So long as it is kept sharp that saw is a log cutting monster!
Exciting is building
New Zealand place to b in this world right now build here !!
What a good video to round up my day. Please don't 'Roundhouse kick me!
So the difference in those saws is in the type of wood. Oak and Hawthorne are both hardwoods whereas Spruce is a soft wood.
Awesome job.
Coming along nicely lad's, looking forward to more of this build.
Hi. Just found this last week. Love it.
q artesanos q son viejo.. mucho tiempo dedicado y mucha presicion. saludos
great stuff, lads.
Absolutely here for the bird subplot.
Great to see you guys back at it. I'm not a fan of youtube premieres but hey, its always something to look forward to! Best of luck with the build.
Sweet guys. You have been missed
I can't wait to see how this turns out. I just discovered your channel a few days ago and have now watched most of your videos. I love them all. Keep up the great work!
Top video lads
All the best from Fife, Scotland
I can’t believe those baby birds are potty trained! 🤣😂🤣
Alternatively of just watching the birds poop you could also train those birds to become postal pigeons or hunt deer for you. Its more productive...
Great vid again guys!
How would you do that?:o
@@SmoothGefixt 🤣
Thomas is thinking - first I drag the stones one way - now drag them another way. what the heck.
Beautiful edits and very enjoyable content. Thanks for the extra long episode! See you next friday ;)
I would think that saw is better with hardwood vs softwood. Good video boys. Its coming along nicely.
Smoothest roundhouse i´ve seen so far. Im very curious about how your gonna do the roof construction
Never saw such a small mule!
If you smelt the stones you can make stone bricks, remember make the logs into planks or charcoal first
Great video, I'm looking forward to the next one!
Julius having fun and living the good life puts a smile on my face every week.
Enjoy your 10 bucks this month buddy ;P
I think it would be a good idea to make furniture for the house like chairs or a shelf.
good video, my friend!
I can't believe this channel doesn't have 100M subscriptors but anyway great video ! Waiting for next episode already
You guys are the best thank you for everything you guys do
Once and for all, Thomas is a mule. He is a hinny.
